Chapter Seven

"Everly, I'm surprised to see you."

I sit across the desk from Johnathon, the pack's lawyer and a very old friend of mine. He'd originally been the lawyer to my old pack but had left for a better opportunity, being the lawyer to Killian's pack.

"What can I do for you?"

"I want to divorce Killian." I say bitterly.

His brows shoot up, and he scratches the back of his head. "I see. What happened?"

I narrowed my eyes on him. "I feel like you can guess."

"Yes... yes. I've seen him and that May girl together." He gives me a look of pity.

"I'm not here so you can feel bad for me, I'm here to figure out what needs to be done and if I'll have anything to start a new life with."

He nods, leaning forward to start clicking on his computer. "Well. I can tell you right now, as the main overseer of contracts between this pack and outsiders, you are the sole holder of several businesses. It looks like..." He clicks around on his computer for a minute. "You've got seven. A club, two parking garages, three retail spots, and a very large share of a hotel."

I let out a small breath I didn't know I'd been holding. At least I would have something to start my new life with.

"Those are your main premarital assets. You also have a property that was left to you by your parents."

My heart aches in my chest at the thought of my parents. My father and brothers had been killed during what at the time, we all thought was a small disagreement between packs. When I got news of this, I had gone back to my old pack, to see my mother. But I only discovered ruin, everything burned down, all members either gone or dead. They'd been amazing parents and excellent leaders of their pack. I often wonder if I could have helped prevent these tragedies if I hadn't married Killian and had lived with them all along.

"I'll have to send an official request to the committee since you are Luna, and there are several things both you and Killian will need to sign."

I nod, wringing my hands out in my lap. Jonathan stops working for a second and looks me in the eye then.     

              

"Are you sure about this, Everlyn? I don't know exactly what's happening between you and Killian, but it would make me feel very guilty if I pushed for something as massive as divorce over a problem that could have been solved with a conversation."

I smirk, shaking my head. "Killian has gotten May pregnant, Jonathan. She's his destined mate, and they've both made it perfectly clear to me I am only in the way of them being together." I stare him in the eyes, so he'll know how serious I really am.

He shrugs, nods once more, and turns back to his computer. "As you wish, Luna."

I had spent five hours with Johnathon, mostly because we were waiting for the committee to respond back to him. He said with Killian having been unfaithful, not to mention publicly scandalous, there should be no problem in us separating. 

Sure enough, they gave their approval, and Johnathon got the official papers printed out for me. I signed my half, and said I'd get the rest signed by Killian. Jonathan had said he was sorry for what I was having to go through, and wished me luck.

It starts to drizzle when I leave the law office and I head home to pack things up. I'll probably leave behind all my dresses and fancy shoes, I can't see why I would be needing those anytime in my future.

I sigh a little as I grab a stack of leggings out of my dresser, moving back to the bed where I had my biggest suitcase open and was loading it up with my clothes. 

I still a little where I've been carefully organizing my legging when I hear the front door opening. I can hear Killian's heavy footsteps coming towards the bedroom.

I close my eyes for a second, taking a deep breath in and preparing myself for the conversation we're about to have.

I don't look up when the bedroom door opens and he walks in. He doesn't say anything to me, just peels his shirt off over his head and throws it in the hamper. I can hear him behind me getting a towel out of the closet.

"I'm going to shower, then we can have sex."

I furrow my brow in genuine confusion, still not turning to face him. Why the hell would we have sex?

Looking at the calendar on the nightstand, I realize then it's our "designated" time, the full moon was in two days. I shake my head a little, irritation rising in my chest.

"Killian, we need to talk." I finally say, turning around. I jump a little when I realize how close he's standing to me. I gulp a little at the sight of him without a shirt on, because despite him being a piece of shit, he was still very attractive.

I try not to look at his defined sex lines disappearing into his jeans as he stares down at me with those dark eyes of his.

I hated him so much a few moments ago, how could I still be feeling so drawn to him? 

"I don't think we do." He grumbles, placing a hand on either one of my shoulders. When he does, for some reason, I get a flash of May smiling up at him warmly, and him returning her affection.

"NO!" I say more firmly, pushing him back a little by shoving his chest. "Killian, I'm done. I will no longer be your Luna."
